“Where  wast  thou  sick,  Lord,  and  we  knew  it  not? 
Had  we  but  known,  how  swift  had  been  our  feet 
To  bear  us  to  thy  couch!  Ah,  service  sweet 
To  watch  beside  thee  in  the  dreariest  spot  I ’ ’ 


‘ ‘ Far  off  I lay,  in  heathen  lands  forgot 
By  thee  and  all.  The  blood  of  lepers  beat 
In  the  poor  helpless  limbs — the  blazing  sun 
Shone  in  an  Indian  room;  thou  didst  not  see 
My  form  on  that  bare  floor.  Those  broken  hearts 
Thou  didst  not  bind.  For  that  thou  hast  not  done 
It  unto  these,  thou  didst  it  not  to  me.”

Presbyterian  Medical  Missions  in  India 


S medical  missionary  work  needed  in  India  with 
all  the  agencies  provided  by  the  Government? 
This  is  the  question  that  is  continually  asked, 
and  the  answer  must  always  be,  “Emphatic- 
ally, yes ! ’ ’ 

It  is  needed  merely  as  charitable  work 
among  the  swarming  multitudes  of  destitute 
people.  Outside  of  the  cities  and  large  towns  not  one  twen- 
tieth of  the  people  are  within  reach  of  government  help.  The 
masses  are  frightfully  poor;  the  failure  of  a single  crop 
threatens  millions  with  literal  starvation.  For  years  India 
has  been  darkened  by  the  shadows  of  famine  and  plague, 
which  have  desolated  one  section  after  another.  All  instru- 
mentalities together  can  only  touch  the  edge  of  the  need. 

It  is  needed  also  to  embody  visibly  and  tangibly  before 
the  people  the  grace  and  truth  that  came  by  Jesus  Christ. 
Some  one  has  well  called  the  medical  work  “the  modern 
substitute  for  miracles,”  by  which  the  divine  character  of 
Christianity  is  manifested,  prejudice  and  suspicion  are  re- 
moved, and  minds  and  hearts  are  prepared  to  accept  the 
message  of  God’s  love.  “I  have  learned  much  about 
Christianity  in  the  hospital,”  said  a Hindu  patient;  “it 
seems  that  the  more  you  do  for  others  the  better  Christian 
you  are.” 

It  is  needed  in  India  even  more  than  elsewhere,  as  a pro- 
test again  against  the  uncharitable  spirit  of  caste,  so  opposed 
to  the  spirit  of  Christ.  The  Christian  hospital,  opening  its 
doors  freely  to  all  in  need,  even  to  the  poorest  outcastes,  is 
a constant  object  lesson  of  the  all-embracing  love  of  God 
and  the  brotherhood  of  man.  Caste  prejudice  is  the  great- 
est obstacle  to  the  spread  of  Christianity,  and  anything  that 
tends  to  undermine  its  barriers  is  of  the  utmost  value. 

It  is  well  known  that  the  most  crying  necessity  of 


3 


all  is  that  for  the  work  of  medical  women.  By  the  cus- 
toms of  Indian  society  it  is  impossible  for  women  of  the 
better  classes  to  be  treated  by  a male  physician.  Only 
women  can  bring  them  relief  in  their  sufferings,  and  point 
them  to  the  true  Light  and  Life  of  men.  “Your  God  must 
be  a very  good  God,”  said  a Hindu  woman  to  her  physician, 
“to  send  a doctor  to  the  women.  None  of  our  gods  ever 
did  that.” 

Our  Presbyterian  Mission  in  India  had  been  long  at 
work  before  the  need  of  a medical  branch  was  recognized. 
A young  physician,  Willis  Green,  M.  D.,  went  out  in  1842, 
but  he  died  a few  months  after  reaching  India. 

Fifty  years  ago  the  value  of  medical  work  as  a mis- 
sionary agency  had  scarcely  begun  to  be  perceived.  The 
only  reason  thought  valid  for  sending  out  medical  men  was 
that  they  might  care  for  the  families  of  missionaries  in 
isolated  stations.  When  John  Newton,  Jr.,  the  son  of  the 
Eev.  John  Newton,  one  of  our  earliest  missionaries  in 
India,  having  studied  medicine  in  the  United  States,  wished 
to  join  the  India  Mission  in  1857,  it  was  thought  that  a 
physician  was  not  needed  there.  Feeling  that  India  was 
his  home,  and  that  his  knowledge  of  the  language  and 
the  people  was  an  advantage  not  to  be  thrown  away.  Doctor 
Newton  returned  to  Lahore  at  his  own  expense,  and  taught 
in  the  Mission  School  for  Boys  for  two  years.  In  1860  the 
Rajah  of  Raparthala  asked  that  a physician  might  be  sent 
to  his  court,  guaranteeing  him  full  freedom  to  teach  Chris- 
tianity among  the  people.  In  response  to  this  call.  Doctor 
Newton  was  adopted  by  the  Board  of  Foreign  Missions  and 
was  its  first  medical  missionary  in  India.  At  this  time 
there  were  in  that  country  very  few  missionary  physicians 
of  any  church. 

The  terrible  sufferings  and  need  of  oriental  women, 
especially  in  India,  made  an  irresistible  appeal  to  their 
sisters  in  more  favored  lands.  The  desire  to  help  them 
was  the  chief  motive  in  the  organization  of  the  various 
Women’s  Missionary  Boards  of  all  denominations  from  1861 
onward.  About  the  same  time  the  doors  of  the  medical 
profession  were  slowly  unclosed  to  women,  and  it  became 
possible  to  send  physicians  of  their  own  sex  to  these 
prisoners  of  the  zenanas.  The  first  medical  woman  who 
went  from  America  to  India  was  Dr.  Clara  Swain,  -of  the 
Methodist  Board  of  Missions,  in  1869.

Dr.  Sara  Seward,  niece  of  Hon.  W.  H.  Seward,  was 
sent  out  by  the  Woman’s  Union  Missionary  Society  in 
1871  to  cooperate  with  the  Presbyterian  Mission  in 
Allahabad.  In  1873  she  became  connected  with  the  Pres- 
byterian Board,  the  first  of  the  splendid  corps  of  medical 
women,  now  numbering  twenty-six,  who  have  done  such  honor 
to  our  Presbyterian  Missions. 

“No  benefit  that  the  Christian  Church  has  brought  to 
India,  except  the  Gospel  itself,  can  compare  with  this  boon 
of  healing  that  has  been  conferred  upon  her  women.’’  Sir 
Charles  Aitchison,  Lieutenant-Governor  of  the  Panjab  in 
1887,  who  inaugurated  the  system  of  government  grants-in- 
aid  to  missionary  hospitals,  says: — 

“To  the  example  set  by  missionary  ladies  in  visiting  zenanas  and 
establishing  hospitals  is  due  the  present  widespread  demand  for 
medical  aid  and  scientific  training  for  the  women  of  India.” 

In  response  to  this  demand  the  Lady  Dufferin  Asso- 
ciation was  formed  (1885),  which  has  opened  many  hos- 
pitals for  women,  and  reports  two  hundred  and  forty  Indian 
women  studying  medicine  under  its  auspices.  The  benefits 
of  these  hospitals  are  largely  confined  to  the  upper  classes. 
The  management  is  of  necessity  entirely  secular,  no  religious 
teaching  being  permitted. 

North  India  Mission. — As  has  been  said,  the  medical 
work  .of  the  Presbyterian  Church  for  women  was  begun  at 
Allahabad.  Doctor  Seward’s  first  patients  were  visited  in 
their  homes.  As  soon  as  suitable  help  could  be  procured, 
a dispensary  was  opened.  In  1889  a desirable  site  was 
secured  in  the  heart  of  the  city,  and  a hospital  erected 
by  the  gifts  of  friends.  Before  the  hospital  work  was  well 
under  way.  Doctor  Seward  died  of  cholera  (1891).  Two 
devoted  and  capable  assistants  whom  she  had  personally 
trained.  Miss  Symes  and  Miss  Christian,  kept  up  the  dis- 
pensary work.  Dr.  Emma  Templin  went  out  in  1893,  but 
ill  health  forced  her  to  resign  after  a year  of  earnest 
service.  In  1896  the  hospital  was  reopened  under  Dr. 
Bertha  Caldwell. 

Dr.  Margaret  Norris,  in  charge  from  1902  to  1906,  began 
her  work  at  the  time  of  a terrible  outbreak  of  bubonic 
plague.  As  the  regular  hospital  attendance  was  much  de- 
creased, she  asked  the  government  oflScials  to  give  her 
charge  of  some  plague  camps.  This  was  done,  and  when 


5 


they  saw  that  she  had  the  confidence  of  the  people,  all 
the  camps  for  high-caste  women  were  put  under  her  care. 
Doctor  Norris  received  from  the  government  the  Kaisir-i- 
Hind  medal  for  her  services  at  this  time. 

After  Dr.  Norris’s  marriage  in  1906,  Dr.  Ellen  C.  Bin- 
ford  took  charge  of  the  hospital,  which  has  now  twenty- 
three  beds. 


Some  of  the  in-patients  are  high-caste  women,  who  had  never 
before  left  their  husbands’  houses  since  their  marriage.  They  are 
lodged  in  private  rooms  with  cooks  of  their  own  caste,  and  enjoy 
the  freedom  of  walking  in  a garden  for  the  first  time  in  their  lives. 

The  treatments  given  last  year  averaged  much  more  than  a hun- 
dred each  day.  But  the  clinical  record  of  these  cases  is  sadly  in- 
adequate. The  words  “treatment  given”  cannot  show  you  the  tired 
mother  who  carried  her  boy  of  five  years  in  a basket  on  her  head 
from  a village  miles  away,  and  the  look  of  triumph  with  which  she 
deposited  him  on  the  hospital  floor.  Happily,  he  was  soon  helped, 
and  the  poor  woman  went  home  rejoicing,  carrying  with  her  a copy 
of  the  Gospels  and  a book  of  bhajans  (hymns). 

Again,  “patient  admitted”  tells  nothing  of  the  poor  woman  picked 
up  by  the  roadside — a widow,  and  therefore  cast  out  of  the  house 
lest  her  presence  bring  a curse. 

Dr.  Annie  Young  assists  in  the  medical  work.  The 
out-practice  in  the  city  is  extensive  and  important,  more 
than  a thousand  patients  being  treated  yearly  in  their 
homes. 

At  Fatehgarh  the  beautiful  Fullerton  Dispensary  re- 
cently opened  is  managed  by  Dr.  Anna  Fullerton  and  her 
sister.  It  has  a large  promise  of  usefulness  for  the  women 
of  Furrukhabad  district. 

Panjab  Mission. — In  Lahore  dispensaries  were  early 
established,  and  were  conducted  for  some  years  by  two  able 
Indian  physicians.  Dr.  Isa  Dass  and  his  wife.  The  work 
is  now  in  charge  of  Dr.  Emily  Marston  (1891).  The  dis- 
pensary stands  on  a crowded  thoroughfare  just  outside  the 
Delhi  Gate  in  the  old  city  wall.  It  is  accessible  to  all  that 
side  of  the  city,  and  to  the  Lunda  Bazar,  a populous  suburb. 
The  noisy,  dirty  street  is  thronged  day  and  night  with 
surging  masses  of  humanity.  On  the  walls  of  the  large 
reception  room  (which  is  used  as  a chapel  for  men  at 
night)  are  hung  appropriate  texts  and  pictures.  From  sixty 
to  a hundred  patients  are  treated  every  day,  and  the  ac- 
companying friends  number  as  many  more.  The  women  who 
come  are  mostly  Mohammedans.  A short  service  begins 
the  day;  a few  verses  of  Scripture  are  read  and  explained, 

6 


a prayer  offered,  a hymn  sung;  then  Doctor  Marston  goes 
to  her  office,  and  the  women  go  in,  three  or  four  at  once. 
The  teacher  or  the  Bible  woman  sits  among  the  waiting 
groups,  explaining  a parable,  answering  questions  or  sing- 
ing hymns  until  all  have  heard  something  of  Jesus  and 
the  truth. 

At  Wagah  a dispensary  for  women  under  Miss  Thiede 
has  long  been  a centre  of  blessings. 

The  crowded  dispensary  at  Saharanpur,  where  the  pa- 
tients average  twenty  thousand  a year,  shows  the  hold  that 
Dr.  C.  W,  Forman’s  years  of  devoted  service  have  gained 
upon  the  people.  Doctor  Forman  has  devised  a unique 
equipment  for  his  work — a van,  fitted  up  with  all  con- 
veniences, which  he  uses  as  a traveling  dispensary  in  his 
long  village  tours.  He  writes: — 

“The  van  is  supplied  with  medicine  shelves,  a bed,  compounding 
table,  desk,  bath,  etc.  Everything  required  for  comfort  or  use  is 
ready  at  hand.  On  the  top  we  carry  a small  tent  and  other  belong- 
ings for  the  three  or  four  members  of  the  party,  and  there  is  room 
inside  for  those  who  wish  to  ride.  At  the  first  halt,  the  tent  is  soon 
pitched,  and  the  evangelists  go  into  the  village  to  preach.  They  give 
notice  that  the  doctor  will  be  ready  ne.xt  morning  to  prescribe  for 
any  needing  it.  A goodly  number  are  always  on  hand.  In  the 
afternoon  more  preaching  and  prescribing;  in  the  evening  our  rule 
is  to  go  to  the  sweeper  quarters  and  preach  to  the  outcastes.  Fifty 
of  these  were  recently  baptized.” 

At  Ferozepore  a dispensary  was  opened  by  Eev.  F.  J. 
Newton,  M.  D.,  who  went  there  in  1882,  and  rooms  for 
men  patients  have  been  added  from  time  to  time.  Doctor 
Newton’s  lifelong  familiarity  with  the  people  and  their 
languages  gives  him  peculiar  advantages  in  relieving  their 
needs.  A hospital  for  women,  built  largely  through  the 
exertions  of  Mrs.  Newton,  was  opened  in  1893,  on  the 
Mission  premises,  half  way  between  the  city  and  the  can- 
tonment. Built  at  the  rear  of  the  compound,  it  was  much 
cramped  for  room.  A fine  plot  of  ground  at  the  back,  with 
pleasant  trees,  was  recently  presented  by  the  Hindu  owners 
for  the  use  of  the  hospital,  adding  much  to  the  comfort 
of  the  inmates.  Dr.  Helen  Newton  (Mrs.  Gould)  had 
charge  of  this  hospital  until  her  marriage.  It  is  now  eared 
for  by  Dr.  Maud  Allen.  Dr.  F.  J.  Newton  says: — 

“Oh,  for  more  means  and  men  and  women!  It  is  appalling  to 
see  the  amount  of  suffering  everywhere,  and  no  physician  and  no 
medicine.  Few  and  far  between  are  found  resident  hakims,  who  make 
a good  living,  though  their  treatment  is  often  injurious.  They  make 


7 


no  pretensions,  however,  to  any  knowledge  of  surgery.  The  bleeding 
is  done  by  the  nai  or  barber.  Whatever  of  surgery  there  is,  the 
opening  of  abscesses,  etc.,  is  also  his  business.  Dentistry  is  the  func- 
tion of  the  blacksmith.  Cataract  (exceedingly  common)  is  operated 
on  by  a wandering  genius  called  a rawal.  . . . Sight  is  often  restored 
for  the  time  at  least,  but  sooner  or  later  trouble  is  pretty  sure  to 
follow.” 

Dr.  Jessie  Carleton,  going  to  Ambala  in  1886,  soon 
found  that  a hospital  for  women  was  greatly  needed.  Land 
was  secured  and  a temporary  building  put  up.  The  present 
hospital,  given  to  commemorate  the  twenty-fifth  anni- 
versary of  the  Woman’s  Board  of  Foreign  Missions,  Phila- 
delphia, was  opened  in  1898.  It  stands  in  a large  com- 
pound at  the  juncture  of  seven  streets,  surrounded  by 
pleasant  grounds.  The  dispensary  patients  average  about 
twenty  thousand  a year  and  the  in-patients  nearly  three 
hundred.  Mrs.  Calderwood,  who  superintends  the  evan- 
gelistic work  in  the  hospital,  says: — 

“I  find  that  in  many  ways  the  women  are  influenced  for  good,  and 
in  most  cases  you  can  see  a visible  change  in  their  faces  while  they 
stay.  _ All  the  surroundings,  the  fresh  air,  the  grass  and  flowers,  the 
prevailing  cleanliness.  Dr.  Carleton’s  eminent  adaptedness  for  her  post, 
the  competent  assistant  doctor,  the  good  matron,  excellent  nurses 
and  servants,  all  help  in  making  the  hospital  the  power  it  is.” 

Dr.  Carleton  has  also  a large  general  practice  in  the 
city  of  Ambala.  In  this  connection  she  writes: — 

“The  question  of  nurses  for_  India  grows  more  imperative  yearly. 
If  your  practice  is  in  homes,  it  is  on  the  members  of  the  family  that 
you  must  depend  for  what  nursing  is  possible.  In  Western  lands  the 
ministering  angel  is  supposed  to  be  feminine,  but  here  the  women 
are  so  superstitious  and  timid  that  one  longs  to  sweep  them  out  of 
the  way.  I am  glad  to  pay  a tribute  to  the  fine  qualities  of  the  men 
as  brought  out  by  illness  in  their  families.” 

An  especial  interest  attaches  to  the  medical  work  at 
Hoshyarpur,  because  it  is  entirely  in  charge  of  the  Indian 
pastor’s  daughter.  Dr.  Dora  Chatter jee,  a graduate  of  the 
Philadelphia  Woman’s  Medical  College.  She  conducts  a 
dispensary  and  a small  hospital  for  women  and  children, 
besides  outside  practice. 

A most  hopeful  enterprise  undertaken  in  1885  is  the 
North  India  School  of  Medicine  at  Lodiana,  intended  for 
the  education  of  Christian  women  in  medicine,  nursing, 
and  pharmacy.  A hospital  built  by  friends,  assisted  by  a 
government  grant,  was  enlarged  in  1906.  It  has  now  one 

8 


hundred  beds,  with  good  quarters  for  children  and  nurses. 
Dr.  Anna  Fullerton  is  the  principal,  and  Dr.  Mary  E. 
Noble,  of  our  own  Board,  the  vice  principal.  The  hospital 
and  dispensary  patients  in  1906  numbered  43,818.  Our  Board 
makes  a yearly  grant  to  this  school,  which  is  supported 
by  all  denominations  of  Christians.  Thirty-two  students 
were  at  work  last  year. 

Work  among  Lepers. — This  imfortunate  class,  of  whom 
there  are  about  two  hundred  and  fifty  thousand  in  India, 
has  always  appealed  especially  to  the  sympathies  of 
Christians.  The  oldest  leper  asylum  under  the  manage- 
ment of  our  Mission  is  at  Sabathu,  and  was  begun  by 
British  ofllcers  as  a general  refuge  for  the  poor,  after  the 
Kabul  war  of  1844.  It  grew  into  importance  under  Dr. 
John  Newton,  Jr.,  who,  with  Mrs.  Newton,  devoted  many 
years  of  loving  care  to  these  poor  sufferers.  One  who  knew 
him  says:  “I  have  never  seen  anything  more  Christlike 
than  Dr.  Newton’s  love  for  his  lepers.”  There  is  a chapel, 
a dispensary,  and  houses  for  employees;  the  patients  live 
in  rows  of  little  cottages  almost  hidden  among  the  trees. 
A farm  furnishes  vegetables  for  all  the  inmates,  and  those 
who  wish  have  plots  of  ground  to  cultivate.  The  dis- 
pensary is  open  every  morning  for  free  medical  treatment, 
after  prayers  in  the  chapel.  Both  men  and  women  are 
taught  to  read,  and  some  become  competent  to  teach  in 
other  asylums.  Others  are  trained  as  nurses  or  compounders 
of  medicine.  There  are  more  than  a hundred  inmates,  of 
whom  about  half  are  Christians.  A ward  for  European 
lepers  has  several  patients.  Marcus  B.  Carleton,  M.  D., 
superintends  the  asylum,  in  addition  to  a large  dispensary 
and  extensive  itineration. 

At  Ambala  is  another  large  leper  asylum,  dating  from 
1858,  and  others  are  fovmd  at  Saharanpur,  Allahabad, 
Eatnagiri,  and  Miraj.  All  these  asylums  are  supported  by 
funds  given  by  the  Mission  to  Lepers  or  contributed  in 
India,  but  for  the  self-denying  love  and  care  which  make 
them  such  a blessing  to  the  poor  inmates,  they  are  indebted 
to  our  missionaries. 

Western  India  Mission. — Our  only  large  general  hos- 
pital in  India  is  at  Miraj,  the  capital  of  the  native  state 
of  the  same  name.  When  Dr.  Wanless  came  to  Sangli  in 
1889  he  had  not  been  two  days  on  the  field  before  patients 
began  to  come  to  him.  They  came  in  such  numbers  that 


9 


he  was  forced  to  send  for  medicines  at  once  and  open  a 
small  dispensary,  which  soon  needed  larger  quarters.  After 
two  years,  it  was  decided  to  move  to  Miraj.  With  the  aid 
of  the  Prime  Minister  of  Miraj  State,  who  was  one  of  Dr. 
Wanless’s  patients,  a most  desirable  site  of  ten  acres  was 
secured,  and  the  enterprise  was  launched  with  the  endorse- 
ment of  the  State  authorities.  A beautiful  building,  given 
by  Mr.  John  H.  Converse,  of  Philadelphia,  was  opened  in 
1894.  The  “Bryn  Mawr  Annex,"  added  in  1902,  contains 
one  of  the  finest  operating  rooms  in  India,  and  a lecture 
room  and  laboratory  for  the  Medical  School.  There  are 
also  rooms  for  private  patients,  a ward  for  Europeans,  and 
a hospital  cottage  for  missionaries.  Many  missionaries 
from  our  own  and  other  missions  come  here  for  treatment. 
All  the  hospital  staff  and  assistants  are  Christians.  Miss 
E.  A.  Foster  (1897)  has  charge  of  the  nursing  department 
and  has  trained  an  efficient  corps  of  Indian  nurses. 

The  Medical  School  trains  Indian  Christian  men  as 
medical  assistants.  The  course  extends  through  four  years, 
and  one  class  is  graduated  before  another  is  started.  A 
Brahman  member  of  the  last  class  is  the  physician  in  charge 
at  Pandita  Eamabai’s  Home  for  Widows.  His  wife,  also 
trained  in  Miraj  Hospital,  is  head  nurse  in  the  same  insti- 
tution. Other  graduates  are  doing  good  work  in  various 
positions. 

When  the  hospital  was  opened,  only  low-caste  men  were 
willing  to  enter  the  wards.  Now  all  castes  lie  side  by  side, 
receiving  the  same  treatment  and  listening  to  the  same 
teaching.  Patients  come  from  hundreds  of  different  villages, 
some  of  them  at  great  distances,  usually  brought  by  one  or 
more  friends.  All  these  learn  something  of  the  Gospel 
message  from  books  or  Christian  teachers,  and  carry  it  back 
to  their  homes. 

Work  of  the  same  sort  on  a smaller  scale  is  done  at 
the  hospitals  and  dispensaries  in  Kodoli,  Vengurle,  and 
Kolhapur.  During  a recent  epidemic  of  cholera  at  Kolhapur, 
Mrs.  Marshall,  M.  D.,  was  able  to  save  more  than  one 
hundred  lives. 

A prominent  Mohammedan  testifies:  “It  is  these 
medical  missionaries  who  are  winning  the  hearts  of  our 
people.  We,  too,  must  build  hospitals  and  care  for  the  sick 
and  the  dying  if  we  wish  to  keep  our  religion  alive."
